Revitalization of Kerta Niaga Kota Tua building in Jakarta as a boutique hotel

Abstract

Kota Tua Jakarta is a Dutch colonial heritage that has to be a part of tourism in Jakarta with Dutch architecture characteristics. It has been protected in Ali Sadikin’s government era in 1972. However, many buildings were abandoned and recently held a revitalization after Basuki Tjahaya Purnama’s government era in 2016. This research aimed to give the insight to revitalize old buildings in this area, and one of them was the Kerta Niaga boutique hotel. This research was a qualitative method by using primary data and secondary data. It finds that the revitalization of the Kerta Niaga Boutique Hotel is by planning adaptive re-use with the additional public facility of the coffee shop. It aims to attract tourists to Kota Tua, and to re-introduce Batavia’s ambiance through the Hotel’s interior design.

Tourists’ Revisit Intention and Electronic Word-of-Mouth at Adaptive Reuse Building in Batavia Jakarta Heritage

“…In Indonesia, numerous studies have also been carried out on various aspects of heritage tourism, including authenticity and perception [6], intangible heritage [7], destination governance [8,9], traditional food [10], and building materials of cultural heritage [11,12]. Several studies in Jakarta's Old Town have also been carried out, such as about potential energy [13][14][15][16], revitalization [17,18], tourist satisfaction [19], and urban planning [20]. However, no study has been conducted to explore the behavior of tourists visiting cultural heritage buildings that have undergone adaptive reuse.…”
